Answer:
Residual volume (RV) is thevolume of air remaining in the lungs after maximum forceful expiration. In other words, it is the volume of air that cannot be expelled, thus causing the alveoli to remain open at all times. The residual volumeremains unchanged regardless of the lung volume at which expiration was started.
